As the vesicles are normally removed along with the prostate, there is no semen. The prostate is responsible for the bulk of the fluid. If you now have a clear ejaculate, chances are it is urine. Yeah, welcome to the club Age 63. Other than cancer, in good health; BMI 20

As the prostate's function is to produce the milky fluid in semen and the seminal vesicles mix the sperm from the testes with this, once the prostate is removed there can be no fluid from this source. If you have a clear fluid it may be from the bulbourethral gland (or Cowper's gland).

"During sexual arousal each gland produces a clear, viscous secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in urethra, and helps flushing out any residual urine or foreign matter. It is possible for this fluid to pick up sperm, remaining in the urethral bulb from previous ejaculations, and carry them out prior to the next ejaculation".

I had a 4 week follow-up with my doctor on Wednesday and asked him if there would be any fluid with ejaculation since the prostate was removed. The answer was no, but I should have the same intensity of orgasm as before. In my case, which I believe is his standard practice for this precedure, not only was the prostate removed, but also the seminal vessicles and the cowpers gland.
